    Unfortunetly there is now way to do this without modifying the plugin. If you want to do it, go into

    wp-content/plugins/testimonial-rotator/testimonial-rotator.php

    change line 429 from

    $slide .= " <div class=\"text\">" . apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ) . "</div>\n";

    to

    $slide .= " <div class=\"text\">" . get_the_excerpt() . "</div>\n";

    Hi Hal and others,

    I had a problem getting the shortcode to display the testimonials in a excerpt fashion, using for example [testimonial_rotator id=690 show_size=excerpt limit_length=265]

    Based on Testemonial Rotator Version 1.3.7 I got it to work.
    Not sure if this is the best solution since I am not an experienced developer, but this worked for me. I’m open to feedback from the pro’s ??

    Modification 1 to testimonial-rotator.php:
    Adding this line at the first section of function testimonial_rotator($atts)
    $show_size = isset($atts['show_size']) ? $atts['show_size'] : "";

    Modification 2 to testimonial-rotator.php:
    Replacing this part to function testimonial_rotator($atts)
    $postcontent=apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ) ;

    with

    if ($show_size == "excerpt") {
  $postcontent=apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_excerpt() ) ;
 }
 else {
  $postcontent=apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ) ;
}

    Hope this helps people out!

    Would much appreciate it if a solution like this is included in the next version of the plugin.

    Thanks,
    – Frank
